coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/10/2020 5:52 pm Usually lamination issues run in a straight line across the coin. This is not showing this. I feel the coin was struck through debris. A piece of metal that came off another coin, got struck into your coin. Later peeled off the coin. If this is true, the the coin should be close to normal weight. (When a lamination peels off a coin, then the weight will be lighter than normal. When something is struck through onto the coin, it will show a slight increase in weight. That is what I'm seeing on your coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34408 Posts	Posted 11/10/2020 6:27 pm Could be struck through foil as noted by @coop, but it seems a little odd to me that this coin was able to circulate so extensively without losing that debris. The striking process must have bonded it quite firmly to the coin's surface.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/10/2020 6:37 pm Well taking a wider view, I can now see that there is a straight line pattern there. (I didn't notice it the first time) It starts at 'WE' and runs to the rim about 2:00. So it is a lamination. The color is darkened a bit on that area. Report this Post to the Staff
